Which rigid outer part of a helmet spreads impact force over a larger area?

Correct answer

The outer shell of the helmet

The outer shell. It works with the impact-absorbing inner liner, which deforms to absorb energy. The visor protects the eye area against air and particles but does not replace those head-protection layers. The helmet must be suitable, fit properly and have its strap fastened; no part guarantees preventing every injury.
